DavidG."The US uses Israel to facilitate it's own imperial designs?"
Well we seem to a conflict to interest here alluded to by Admiral Mullen.Israel's stealing of Palistinian land the consequent submission of the USA to Israel's demands, sends a clear message to the Middle Eastern oil countries which will deal with the likes of BP EXXON Mobil etc.

Israel by it's insistance of sanctions against Iran is increasing tensions for no good reason.We are still in the midst of the GFC and we have similar conditions that led up to WW2.

Peace in the Middle East will not happen unless justice is seen to be done.

Arjay, Israel has a very good reason to want to attack Iran.

Iran is the only country that stands in the road of its long-term plan to create <b>Greater Israel,</b> a nation which will include land belonging to all its neighbors and the extinction of Lebanon and Jordan (see map on my blog).

If Israel toes the American line, the U.S. will be quite happy to facilitate this development!

DavidG. The Middle East is too important for us to constantly appease Israel's aggression.A nuclear war could easily start there since China does access 40% of it's oil from the Persian Gulf.

The USA seems impotent and now the Arab states know that the USA has totally folded to their desires there will be more instability .Israel brags about having hundreds of nukes pointed at their enemies.It has totally ignored the nuclear no-proliferation treaty and now shoves these nukes in our faces with defiance!

I think is time for all countries on this planet to bring all these lunatics to the table of peace and sanity.China,Russia,India countries of Europe ,Africa and South America should put aside their differences and read the riot act to Israel and the neo cons in the USA.The economic and military weight of the planet can avert a disaster. 2012 does not have to be the bibical apocalypse unless we let it happen.

Arjay, I agree with your last comment entirely and have been saying the same things for years.

Imperial America and imperial Israel both threaten world peace and need to be put in their place.

Yes David G. To give our bystanders a taste of human depravity, let's look domestically whereby a father's revenge upon his ex-wife was to murder his own children as a show of dominance and revenge.This psychopathic behaviour has be well documented.To most of us,it is beyond our comprehension.

Now this is the sort of mentality we are now confronting within the US and Israel.Their plans have been hatching for decades and in the face of failure,these few psychopaths like Hitler will take us and themselves beyond the brink!

Zibigniew Brzezinski is a case in point and is one of Obama's foreign policy advisors.They have studied the brains of these non-empathetic people and the physical voids reflect their callous behaviour.

Failure for these lunatics is not an option.They do not think like us.They do not care for future generations.Winning in the present tense is all that matters.So we should not assume that leaders of any description are infallible or indeed of noble intentions.

Unless we the people get involved,then lunatics will rule.

Imperial America and imperial Israel both threaten world peace and need to be put in their place.
David G,
65 years ago they tried to do that at the cost of 40 million lives .
